Hi everyone,
after some testing, the Remotek One with Kurviger on iOS is now working reliably for me.
Since the original post accumulated a few stumbling blocks, I have put together all the working settings here. Perhaps it will help other iOS users who want to use the Remotek One with Kurviger.
My Remotek One is currently running on Firmware 2.1.0.
1. Check the firmware version of the Remotek One
First, connect the Remotek One to your iPhone normally under
Settings → Bluetooth
To check the installed firmware on iOS, you can use the nRF Connect Device Manager app:
Then:
nRF Connect Device Manager → Select Remotek One → Image → Basic → IMAGES → Read
It shows me:
Version: 2.1.0
@MS_MagnaR43 has also created an illustrated PDF guide for this:

For a firmware update on iOS, MS_MagnaR43 has also linked a corresponding software update video in this thread.
Important: You can get the current firmware file directly from Remotek if needed.
2. Set up iOS Full Keyboard Access
Go to
Settings → Accessibility → Keyboards → Full Keyboard Access
and turn on Full Keyboard Access.
Then:
Full Keyboard Access → Commands
Now comes the crucial part.
Under motion commands, the four normal arrow keys must be completely removed:
- Move Up → Delete ↑
- Move Down → Delete ↓
- Move Left → Delete ←
- Move Right → Delete →
The entries remain, but no arrow key should be displayed next to them afterwards.
That was the decisive factor for me.
As long as the arrows were still stored there as iOS commands, the Remotek control in Kurviger or the media profile did not work correctly.
Other iOS system commands such as Fn + H or Tab + B do not need to be deleted.
3. Create Shortcuts for Kurviger and Spotify
Create two new shortcuts in the Apple Shortcuts app:
Shortcut 1:
Open App → Kurviger
Shortcut 2:
Open App → Spotify
Of course, another music app can be used instead of Spotify.
Then go back to
Settings → Accessibility → Keyboards → Full Keyboard Access → Commands
and scroll all the way down to the Shortcuts section.
Assign there:
A → Kurviger
B → Spotify
This way, the key codes A and B sent by the Remotek when switching profiles are intercepted by iOS and no longer simultaneously trigger functions within Kurviger.
4. Map Control in Kurviger
With this setting, normal map operation continues to work for me:
Arrow keys
→ Pan map
+ / −
→ Zoom in / out
Double-click Up arrow
→ Change map orientation
Double-click Left arrow
→ Re-center map
With firmware 2.1.0, the following key codes are used, among others:
- DC ↑ → K
- DC ↓ → N
- DC ← → L
- DC → → M
5. Switching between Map and Media Profile
I switch between the map and media profile via DCH1 on the Up arrow.
So:
Press Up arrow briefly → release → press again and hold for about 1–2 seconds on the second press
After that, the Remotek is in the media profile.
You can use the same key combination to switch back to the map profile.
6. Media Control
In the media profile, Spotify control works normally for me.
For example:
Left / Right
→ Previous / Next track
+ / −
→ Volume
Double-click Down arrow
→ Play / Pause
The big advantage of my current setup:
Kurviger stays in the foreground when switching to the media profile.
So I can still see the navigation, but at the same time control Spotify via the Remotek.
When switching back to the map profile, map control works again afterwards.
For motorcycle use, I find this variant even ideal because the navigation remains permanently visible while riding.
MS_MagnaR43 also found that the behavior can partially differ depending on how DCH1 is pressed, and Spotify can also switch completely to the foreground for him.
7. Focus Ring of iOS Full Keyboard Access
When Full Keyboard Access is enabled, iOS briefly displays a border around the currently focused element after a key press.
This can be seen, for example, on the home screen as a grey border around an app.
Under
Full Keyboard Access → Automatically Hide
I set the value to
1 second
This makes the border visible only very briefly and it practically no longer interferes.
When I am not using the motorcycle, I simply turn Full Keyboard Access off again.
The configured commands and shortcuts are saved and do not need to be set up again the next time it is turned on.
Result
With this, the following now works for me:
Kurviger map control
Pan map with the arrows
Zoom with + / −
Center map
Change map orientation
Switch Map Profile ↔ Media Profile
Control Spotify
Kurviger can remain visible during media control
No more unwanted Kurviger menu when switching profiles
No more unintentional change of map orientation when switching profiles

At this point again a big thank you to MS_MagnaR43 for the tests, the hints, the PDF guide, and the hint regarding the firmware update under iOS. 
The decisive point for me in the end was to really delete all four normal arrow assignments under iOS Full Keyboard Access and then use A and B via Apple Shortcuts for Kurviger and Spotify.
Since then, the Remotek One with Kurviger on iOS works the way I imagined it.
